Ricosprin 10 Tablet

Ricosprin 10 Tablet is an oral tablet containing rivaroxaban 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) class, also called a blood thinner, and is used to help prevent and treat certain harmful blood clots. Ricosprin 10 Tablet may be prescribed after surgery, to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism, or for other doctor-directed clot-prevention uses. It does not dissolve an existing clot instantly, but it helps stop clots from getting bigger and new clots from forming.

How it works: Rivaroxaban in Ricosprin 10 Tablet blocks Factor Xa, a key protein your body uses to make blood clots. By slowing clot formation, the tablet helps lower the chance of dangerous clots in the legs, lungs, or elsewhere. Since it is an oral tablet, Ricosprin 10 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to provide anticoagulant effects throughout the body.

Ricosprin 10 Tablet is a mid-range rivaroxaban strength, higher than the 2.5 mg tablet and lower than the 15 mg and 20 mg tablets. That means it may be chosen when a doctor wants a specific anticoagulant effect without moving to the higher-strength tablets used for different dosing schedules or stronger treatment needs. Because Ricosprin 10 Tablet is a prescription blood thinner, the right strength depends on your clot risk, kidney function, and overall medical history.

• Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Blood clot prevention after certain surgeries
• Doctor-directed prevention of recurrent clots

• Swallow Ricosprin 10 Tablet whole with water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed at the same time each day if you have been given a once-daily schedule.
• Do not stop taking Ricosprin 10 Tablet on your own, because stopping suddenly can raise clot risk.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day, then continue your regular schedule; do not double up unless your prescriber instructs you.
• Be careful to avoid injuries and report any unusual bleeding, bruising, or blood in urine or stool.
• If you have swallowing trouble, ask a clinician before splitting, crushing, or changing how you take this tablet.

Each Ricosprin 10 Tablet provides 10 mg of rivaroxaban per tablet. The dosing frequency depends on why it was prescribed; for some clot-prevention uses it is taken once daily, but your doctor decides the exact schedule and duration. Do not exceed the prescribed number of tablets per day, because too much rivaroxaban can increase bleeding risk.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
